The 13th national election, scheduled for February 12, will see participation from all political parties after a long gap, with analysts predicting major changes in Chattogram’s 16 parliamentary constituencies. According to the Election Commission, the region has 6.68 million registered voters, including about 334,000 new ones, most of whom are young. Women make up nearly 47 percent of the electorate, adding a new dimension to the voting equation.
Observers note that this election may prioritize candidates’ personal integrity, education, and development plans over party symbols. Many candidates and their family members are engaging directly with women voters through door-to-door campaigns and small meetings. Youth and women, previously discouraged by disputed elections, are now motivated by a desire for change following the July uprising.
Election data show that 11 constituencies have gained around 20,000 voters each, while the Chattogram-11 seat saw a decline of about 7,000 due to voter relocation linked to employment shifts. Analysts believe that the active participation of young and female voters could decisively influence the outcome across the district.
